Shared control in brain computer interfaces
… o er the potential to enable robotic wheelchair control through the monitoring and categorisation of brain activity signals. This enables users to control the wheelchair through the use of prede ned thought patterns. However, the process of continually executing commands can be tiring, and errors …

Learning-based shared control for open world, dexterous robot teleoperation
… and precision. Giving the operator direct control over every joint on the robot provides them with the maximum flexibility to complete many kinds of tasks, but the high cognitive load associated with such an interface makes it impossible to properly coordinate the joints for tasks requiring …

Constraint-based navigation for safe, shared control of ground vehicles
… experimentally demonstrates a new paradigm for shared-adaptive control of human-machine systems that mitigates the effects of human error without removing humans from the control loop. Motivated by observed human proclivity toward navigation in fields of safe travel rather than along specific …

Shared Control Based on Predictability Analysis With Application to Human-SuperLimb Collaboration
… based on predictability analysis to construct shared control in human-robot collaborations. The methods are applied to assist hemiplegic patients in a bimanual eating task (i.e., eating with a fork and a knife) with a Supernumerary Robotic Limb, or SuperLimb for short. The core idea of the …

Predictive Warning System for a Class of Shared-Control Vehicular CPS via Dynamic Information Flow Tracking.
… vehicles are maturing into robotics agents under shared control. Vehicle op- erators will be confronted with understanding the expected response from the robotic agent to their actions. I propose a warning system framework to continuously track human inputs, identify possible conflicts and provide …

The socio-technical construction of precision bombing : a study of shared control and cognition by humans, machines, and doctrine during World War II
… socio-technical system designed for optimum control at all levels. It describes the elements at each level, their design for use as a system, how they initially employed the system, and how their actions caused a revision of the HADPB doctrine, in the process redefining precision from a …

The relationships between selected strategic alliance factors and the success of strategic alliances between United States casino hotels and restaurants
… strategic alliances and their partner selection, shared control structure and subtle-issues management. An exploratory study was conducted to determine the relationships between strategic alliance factors and alliance success; The data collected in this study supported the relationship between …

Teacher Facilitation of Peer Interaction in Preschool Children
… several issues are discussed: autonomy and shared control, choices of facilitation contexts, safety and classroom management as facilitation constraints, and curriculum provisions. Implications for teaching practices and teacher education are provided. It is posited that teachers can and …

Shared decision-making and control between humans and adaptive control algorithms
This thesis addresses the problem of controlling a dynamical system subject to both parametric uncertainties and abrupt changes in the dynamic structure of the system, by proposing a shared control architecture predicated on a suitable division of responsibilities between supervisory human …

Learning, inference, and control for construction robots and spatiotemporal processes
… Instructional policy model is tested based on a controlled group study involving 113 participants, who learn to perform the truck loading task on a hydraulic actuated scaled excavator robot. Further this thesis investigates shared control design for construction robots. Existing work has …

Statistical co-analysis of high-dimensional association studies
… association studies in order to characterise shared and distinct elements. In this thesis I address several problems in this area, with a general linking aim of making more efficient use of available data. The main application of these methods is in the analysis of genome-wide association …

A Survey of the History of the Concertmaster Through the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic Eras
… ensembles lacked conductors, the concertmaster shared control of the orchestra with the keyboard-player or time-beater. During the Classical Era, the concertmaster gained a larger role in the orchestra and often acted simultaneously as conductor, manager, and director. The specific duties of a …

Mobility design and control of personal mobility aids for the elderly
… research addresses the mobility design and control issues of such devices. Eldercare environments are semi-structured, usually congested, and filled with static and/or dynamic obstacles. Developing effective mobility designs to achieve good maneuverability is a great challenge. An …

Strategies for control of neuroprostheses through Brain-Machine Interfaces
The concept of brain controlled machines sparks our imagination with many exciting possibilities. One potential application is in neuroprostheses for paralyzed patients or amputees. The quality of life of those who have extremely limited motor abilities can potentially be improved if we have a …

Soft Smart Interfaces for Bilateral Teleoperation with Distributed Tactile Haptic Feedback in Remote Medical Palpation
… teleoperated architecture and the integration of shared control as a tool to augment the user experience while performing remote palpation. A combination of shared control and predictive models can be used to avoid indirect instabilities, normally created by the human operator's overcompensation …

Eye controlled semi-Robotic Wheelchair for quadriplegic users embedding Mixed Reality tools
… even the domestic one, caused by the loss of the control on our own mobility. Although these pathologies are relatively rare, the number of people affected by this disease are increasing during the years. The focus of this project is the restore of persons’ mobility using novel technologies based …
